Commissioning a mural in Nashville, Tennessee works best as a real project: a clear design phase, a scoped wall, and a professional process from first sketch to final coat — not a spray-paint favor. Corey Barksdale is an Atlanta-based muralist and fine artist who takes on mural, live-painting, and public art commissions nationwide, including projects in Nashville.
Muralist for hire in Nashville
Nashville's identity as Music City has fueled a fast-growing mural scene, from wing murals and guitar-themed walls downtown to community-driven pieces in neighborhoods like Wedgewood-Houston and East Nashville.
What working with Corey Barksdale looks like
Every project starts with a conversation about the wall, the site, and what the mural needs to do — tell a story, anchor a brand, activate a community space, or mark an event. From there, design concepts, a clear timeline, and a straightforward scope come before any paint goes up, so there are no surprises for you or your Nashville location.
Types of murals for Nashville clients
For Nashville clients, that means murals built to be genuinely photographed — bold color, strong composition, and a design that holds up next to the city's wing-mural and guitar-mural landmarks — alongside quieter community and cultural pieces for neighborhoods outside the tourist core.
